The administration has also proposed to implement new 25 percent tariffs on $300 billion worth of Chinese goods and recently removed India and Turkey from the Generalized System of Preferences program, which allows certain items to be imported duty-free.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. ports covered by Global Port Tracker handled 1.75 million Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units in April, the latest month for which after-the-fact numbers are available. That was up 8.4 percent from March and up 6.9 percent year-over-year. A TEU is one 20-foot-long cargo container or its equivalent.<\/p>\n<p>May was estimated at 1.88 million TEU, up 3 percent year-over-year. June is forecast at 1.86 million TEU, up 0.3 percent; July at 1.93 million TEU, up 1.1 percent; August at 1.95 million TEU, up 3.3 percent; September at 1.89 million, up 0.9 percent, and October at 1.95 million TEU, down 4.4 percent. The August and October numbers would be the highest monthly totals since the 2 million TEU record set last October as retailers rushed to bring merchandise into the country ahead of expected tariff increases.<\/p>\n<p>Imports during 2018 set a record of 21.8 million TEU, an increase of 6.2 percent over 2017\u2019s previous record of 20.5 million TEU. The first half of 2019 is expected to total 10.6 million TEU, up 3 percent over the first half of 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Click\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nrf.com\/media-center\/press-releases\/retailers-continue-stock-up-inventory-to-get-ahead-of-more-tariffs\">here<\/a>\u00a0to access the entire release from the National Retail Federation website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: National Retail Federation June 7, 2019 Imports at the nation\u2019s major retail container ports are expected to continue to grow this summer as retailers stock up inventory to get&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":13972,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[360,361],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-global-logistics-market","category-ocean-market"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
